POKEMON DIAMOND, PEARL AND PLATINUM PAL PARK GUIDE

Pal Park will become available after you obtain the National Dex. The Park itself is located on Route 221; Surf southeast from Sandgem Town to get there. Pal Park allows you to transfer 6 Pokemon from a Pokemon GBA Game to your Diamond or Pearl game. Note that this process CANNOT BE REVERSED, so ensure you want to transfer the Pokemon. Once you enter the park, you will have 6 Park Balls, which have a 100% capture rate. Once you catch all six Pokemon, they will be given to you, but not until you have all six. You'll also receive a berry based on how quickly you cought them all. As of HeartGold and SoulSilver, all Pokemon can be obtained solely from Generation IV games.

Pal Park itself is divided into five areas: Field, Forest, Mountain, Ocean and Pond. To get to the Ocean and Pond areas, you need Surf. Certain Pokemon will only appear in certain areas.
